Denver Post editor Gregory L. Moore talks with Post technology reporter Andy Vuong, who also is the main author at the blog TechKnowBytes.

Vuoung says he was an early adopter of technology, beginning with America Online (AOL) in the 1990s, when he would design websites and games. That translated over to his college years. He argues that the biggest recent technological innovation in the last few years was the iPhone, which debuted in 2007, and talks about how surrounded we are with information. He also spoke to Moore about password security and how hacker culture is perceived and how it has evolved.

Denver Post editor Gregory L. Moore interviews former Democratic Colorado Gov. Bill Ritter, now director of the Center for the New Energy Economy at Colorado State University. He now works on energy efficiency, renewable energy and works with utility modeling, among other things, utilizing his past connections as governor. “How does a utility get customers to use less and less,” he asks, calling to mind one of the questions he now is trying to answer. Ritter also discussed how China’s rising energy consumption will affect the world. Ritter said he didn’t miss the caustic environment of politics or backstabbing that comes with being in his position as governor, noting that the amount of money flowing into politics is not a good trend for the state or country. He does, however, miss budget meetings.

Denver Post Editor Gregory L. Moore speaks from his Denver office with president and CEO of the Denver Metro Chamber of Commerce Kelly Brough about transitioning from being then-mayor John Hickenlooper’s chief of staff, about the current business climate in Colorado during the recession, how marijuana and Amendment 64 will affect the Denver and Colorado business community, what Colorado’s brand to the outside world is, about Magpul’s decision to leave Colorado after high-capacity magazine limit legislation passed, the start-up business culture in the state and her view on Sheryl Sandberg’s book “Lean In.”
